ByRegulatory News

August 24, 2017

US Agencies (FDIC, SEC, FED, CFTC, and CFPB) published updates related to their respective semi-annual regulatory agenda. FDIC, FED, CFTC, and CFPB published the agenda as part of the Spring 2017 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Unified Agenda). The Unified Agenda offers an update on the planned actions of the administrative agencies in the near and long term. The publication of this agenda is in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which requires each federal agency to publish, twice a year, an agenda in the Federal Register; the agenda should identify rules, for consideration over the next 12 months, that are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

A brief description of each agency's agenda follows:

FDICagenda contains information about the current and projected rulemakings, existing regulations under review, and completed rulemakings. FDIC publishes this regulatory agenda to inform the public about its regulatory actions and to enhance public participation in the rulemaking process.

SEC published the Chairman's agenda of rulemaking actions and the items listed in this Regulatory Flexibility Agenda for Spring 2017 reflect only the priorities of the Acting Chairman of the U.S. SEC and do not reflect the views and priorities of any individual Commissioner. The Commission invites questions and public comments on the agenda and on the individual agenda entries. Comments should be received on or before September 25, 2017.

FED issued the agenda under the Regulatory Flexibility Act and the Board's Statement of Policy Regarding Expanded Rulemaking Procedures. Comments about the form or content of the agenda may be submitted any time during the next six months.

CFTC published a semi-annual agenda of rulemakings that the CFTC expects to propose or promulgate over the next year. The Commission welcomes comments from small entities and others on the agenda.

European Parliament published a report that provides a concise overview of the Dodd-Frank Act, the challenges of its implementation, and efforts to roll back the Act, in large part due to what are viewed to be vague and impractical provisions.
